Thinking Outside the Rubik’s Cube – Art Phenom Pixel Pete

Nov 1, 2011

“Dream Big” was a year-long project in which “Pixel Pete” Fecteau created a brilliant mosaic of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. using 4,242 manipulated Rubik’s Cubes! Fecteau created the installation for ArtPrize2010 – Grand Rapids, Michigan’s fabulous annual art competition. Exhibit attendees’ votes determined the winner. “Dream Big” made it to the top 50 of 1,700+ submissions. Watch the video below to see the whole process.

“Dream Big” – one of the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube mosaics – was created with the help of YouCanDoTheRubiksCube, First Park Congregational Church, The Student Advancement Foundation and Cooley Law School. The artist obtained crowd-funding financing for his project through Kickstarter.
